My girlfriend is from the future!
Chapter 353 Heating Up (5)
In the eighth canteen of the University of Hong Kong, Cao Aiqing and Guo Huai ordered food at each window. It was time for meal time, and there were quite a lot of people dining at this time. There is a table.
Seeing the two walking over together, Mother Guo smiled enthusiastically.
When the two sat down, Guo's mother went through the expressions of the two of them. Seeing that Cao Aiqing was calm and decent, and Guo Huai was reserved, she took the initiative to praise:
"Little Cao, our Huaihuai family is so lucky to have met such a kind-hearted girl like you. He has been studying in Hong Kong City for these years, but luckily you are taking care of him. Every time Huaihuai calls, he mentions it to me. You, at the beginning, I didn't believe that he could have a girlfriend like you! It's rare to meet today, so let's have a good conversation~"
girlfriend?
Cao Aiqing paused slightly after hearing this, she looked at Guo Huai, and signaled with her eyes that he would explain.
The girl believed that with Guo Huai's character, even if she had admiration for her in the past, she would never have the nerve to reveal this to the elders in her family, let alone lie and show off, and talk about ridiculous relationships like boyfriend and girlfriend, and Guo Huai The reason why the mother said this is probably because her son noticed the unnaturalness after hearing the little girl's name on the phone on weekdays, so when she saw it today, she pushed the boat and started to test it by mistake.
This can be said to be a trick used by the older generation. It is a bit too much to say that it is too much to rely on the old to sell the old, but this kind of intentional temptation to say the wrong thing is always uncomfortable.
Guo Huai also felt that it was inappropriate for his mother to misunderstand, so he frowned and hurriedly corrected:
"Mom, I never said that Ai Qing is my girlfriend. Stop talking nonsense and eat."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I understand you young people, haha, Xiao Cao, eat more, you look thinner."
Mother Guo graciously served Cao Aiqing with food, her eyes were smiling, as if she had already seen through the "hidden" relationship between the two.
Cao Aiqing knew very well that although the middle-aged woman in front of her had an almost rigid and narrow traditional concept, she spoke with a very typical wisdom of ordinary people.
She knows that what she said is wrong, but she just wants to lead you to develop in the wrong place deliberately, and there is often concern in it, so you have to refute it bluntly. Here; the second is that after the refutation is over, there must be a young man who can't make a joke.
And if you remain silent, then she will acquiesce in this wrong development until you get used to her way of thinking, then it will be difficult to have any initiative in communication.
Cao Aiqing's well-behaved temperament in her previous life has suffered such a loss.
It's just that today is different from the past, since the girl can come to eat this meal calmly, she naturally has a plan in mind.
"Thank you auntie."
Cao Aiqing put the food that Mother Guo had picked up into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and flattered her with a smile:
"Auntie, Guo Huai is the president of the student council now, and he usually takes care of others, and we used to learn from each other in school, learning from each other's strengths, maybe because of this, as friends, we got closer. I'm really sorry to make you misunderstand, and it's really not good to think about it, I will pay more attention to it in the future."
The girl pulls a thousand catties in twos and twos, and retreats to advance.
Guo's mother originally wanted to match up, but what the little girl meant was that she thought the elders were beating her, so she attributed all the mistakes to herself. Now not only are the two not together, but the distance has been stretched even further.
"No... Oh, Xiao Cao... Auntie doesn't mean that. Auntie wants you two to be together."
Cao Aiqing smiled slightly, the relationship between the two of them was broken by Guo's mother's words, and this drama of pretending to be deaf and dumb was over.
At the same time, He Tianran, Wang Ma, and Hu Shu were also watching this scene not far away.
The two teams entered the cafeteria front and back. Just now when Cao Aiqing and Guo Huai went to get the food, they just diverged. Because there were two tables in the middle and they were at the side and rear, neither Cao nor Guo could notice. He Tianran was near them.
However, the situation on their side was clearly seen by Wang Ma and her party. Originally, Wang Ma looked at Cao Aiqing and wanted to go up to say hello immediately, because from a certain level, she and Guo Mu's thoughts They are the same, they all want to match her up with their younger generation.
But when He Tianran saw Guo's mother, he immediately stopped this kind of behavior.
"Xiao Tianran, is that boy sitting with Xiao Ai Qing...?"
"Xiao Guo, I seem to remember that I told you that the three of us are all friends, and the person sitting opposite should be Xiao Guo's mother."
He Tianran smiled, and handed chopsticks to Uncle Hu and Ma Wang.
"Then they are now..."
"It should be... similar to the last time we saw you in the hospital."
"Ah?" Wang Ma was very surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Then, does little Ai Qing...specialize in helping you deal with such things that your parents urge you to marry and fall in love?"
He Tianran almost burst out laughing. He didn't expect that Cao Aiqing, who was usually as cold as ice, could get such a contrasting "part-time job" from Wang Ma.
He explained: "No way, they probably met by chance. Xiao Guo told me a few days ago that his mother is coming to Hong Kong to visit him. Since they are both at school, it is inevitable that they will meet him. Like we're meeting them now."
After hearing this, Wang Ma became even more anxious: "Then are you not in a hurry?"
"What am I in a hurry for?"
"Just...you don't have any admiration for little Ai Qing?"
Although Wang Zhaodi already knew the true relationship between He Tianran and Cao Aiqing, it was a coincidence that he ran into such a scene, and couldn't help being possessive and empathetic, for fear that the good girl would be snatched away first.
He Tianran comforted in turn: "Wang Ma, it's a long story, but in short, this is Ai Qing's own business, let's not interfere for now, and... aren't you curious?"
"What am I curious about?"
"It's just... Ai Qing encounters the same thing, how would he deal with it, the aunt opposite this time doesn't have any heart problems, you should be able to see a... more real Ai Qing."
Wang Ma came here this time to thank Cao Aiqing. At that time, she messed up the mandarin ducks, and the girl's cooperation made her very happy, but this is not a fact after all. The two children are indeed not together, and they can be held down by themselves I agreed to it because I was worried about my heart being bad.
This is filial piety and good intentions.
Now that her body is safe, Wang Zhaodi feels somewhat guilty in retrospect. Now that the situation is repeating itself, she is really interested in what He Tianran said.
If she was not sick, what would Xiao Aiqing really think about her current love life?
With this in mind, Wang Ma listened attentively. Even though the cafeteria was a bit noisy, fortunately, the two tables were relatively close to each other. As long as she concentrated and calmed down, she could hear the truth.
Seeing that Wang Ma had calmed down, He Tianran breathed a sigh of relief.
If she also rushed over, wouldn't this be Cao Aiqing's "Sura field"?
Tsk tsk, this scene makes me feel emotional when I think about it. He Tianran doesn't mind being a fun person, but obviously, at this moment, Cao Aiqing is going through an important event that has not been resolved before, just like she must be with her crush after time travel. Her Guo Huai made a break, and as for that Guo mother, the girl must have something to say.
This is something she has to face alone. The only thing He Tianran can do to help her now is to prevent outsiders from making trouble for her at this moment.
Just listen to Guo's mother on the other side asking:
"Xiao Cao, Huai Huai always told me good news but not bad news at school. Sometimes, I don't even know the real situation."
Guo Huai was too embarrassed to interrupt this kind of questioning by name, and felt as guilty as a thief if he talked too much, Cao Aiqing said generously:
"Ah... Auntie, don't worry, Guo Huai is a very hardworking person. From being shy in high school to now being the student council president of our Hong Kong University, I admire him very much for this alone, and we all You are students, as long as you are in good health, you will not encounter anything difficult."
Guo Huai glanced at Cao Aiqing gratefully, and felt that this answer really gave him enough face.
It's just that his mother is more happy than him, and she is full of ambitions, so she starts to sell:
"Haha, indeed, when Huaihuai told me that he became the president of the student union, I didn't know what it meant, but later I found out that he was the biggest official among the students. A place where you guys are so proud of heaven, he doesn't know if he can do it, and then I want to come to Hong Kong City to have a look, and then Xiao Cao, guess what, as soon as I came, Huai Huai drove a car The BMW car came to pick me up, and I was still wondering when he made so much money, so it turned out that his friend knew I was coming and lent it to him to drive it, it can be seen that Huai Huai is really a fool!"
Cao Aiqing ate the food quietly and smiled without saying a word.
She knew that Guo's mother wanted to gilt Guo Huai's body, hoping that the child would become a dragon, it's only natural for people to get carried away, and it would be really strange if the parents didn't brag about their children at this time.
But Guo Huai felt uncomfortable, especially in front of Cao Aiqing.
"Mom, borrowing a car has nothing to do with me being the president of the student council..."
"Hahaha, well, I won't mention it, I understand."
Guo's mother glanced at him, and lamented that her son just didn't know how to show his strengths. Even the little girl said that she admired him, but he foolishly pushed it away.
Knowing his son is Mo Ruomu, judging from what his son told him in the past two years, he must like this little Cao in front of him very much, but now he is obedient, and he is really angry like that.
So, Mother Guo might as well expand the topic further, and investigate the household registration with a smile:
"Little Cao, what do you do at home?"
Cao Aiqing replied honestly: "My father works in a museum and occasionally gives lectures at the University of Hong Kong. My mother was the editor-in-chief of a magazine a few years ago, but now physical publications are not easy to do, so I resigned last year and started a self-media at home. Now Kind of like a freelance writer."
Guo's mother was taken aback, obviously not very able to summarize the specific functions of these occupations, Guo Huai explained in a more general way:
"Mom, Ai Qing's father is the leader of the museum and an honorary professor of the Department of Archeology at the University of Hong Kong. Her mother is a writer."
Now, Mother Guo understood immediately.
"It turns out that Xiao Cao is from a scholarly family, no wonder he looks gentle and quiet, so attractive!"
It is naturally impossible to hear more appropriate temperament descriptions such as "gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and reasonable" from a person like Guo's mother, but the kind of love she expressed at this moment is indeed true.
However, this kind of liking can only be maintained in the initial period.
Guo's mother did everything possible to send Guo Huai to Hong Kong to study, which proved that she knew the importance of "knowledge" in this era, so it is normal for Aiwu and Wu to have a crush on girls like Cao Aiqing.
But the paradox is that due to the constraints of their own environment and concepts, it is doomed that the two women, the old and the young, will not live in the same comfort zone.
Guo Huai is her son. When encountering things with inconsistent ideas, he can naturally commit himself to make changes to make Guo's mother feel comfortable, and she will not find that there is anything wrong with it, because this is "filial piety" in the traditional sense , I've been busy for so long, it's time to take it for granted.
But it’s different for Cao Aiqing, an outsider. If one day she becomes Mother Guo’s daughter-in-law, no matter how much she learns and pursues, she will be more dangerous, because others have not received the favor of Mother Guo, so Mother Guo There is no guarantee that you can "benefit", and this has seriously affected the birth of the "family" bond.
In the eyes of people of their generation, the concept of "family" is, more simply,——
blood.
That is, having children.
This is a very realistic thing. Everyone has a different vision and a different environment, so what they see is naturally different. Similar to Mother Guo, she only pays attention to the one-acre three-point land that she has reclaimed, and she will not I feel that I am wrong, how difficult it is to correct a person's way of life and reverse the inherent concepts of most of his life...
So, this led to the tragedy in the future...
Cao Aiqing was a little distracted thinking about these things in silence, until she heard such a sentence in her ear, she suddenly came back to her senses——
"Xiao Cao, do you have a boyfriend?"
"……No."
"Then what do you think of our family Huaihuai?"
Mother Guo took advantage of the situation to ask questions.
Cao Aiqing took a breath, feeling that it was time.
Taking advantage of the time to call back, everyone can still sit down and talk politely, the girl decided to completely turn the past to the next chapter.
However, when she opened her mouth, Guo Huai, who had always been obedient to her mother in her memory, took the first step and opened her mouth——
"Mom, don't ask about this. Ai Qing is my friend. It's really embarrassing for you to ask this. Besides, Ai Qing and I are not suitable. They have other plans. I have my own plans. Are you afraid Can't I find a girlfriend?"
As soon as the words landed, Cao Aiqing looked at Guo Huai quite unexpectedly...
Such a development was unexpected to her, but gradually the expression on the girl's face changed from surprise to a smile.
Sure enough...
People are always in different situations, and the harvest is always different...
Last time at the restaurant, He Tianran forced Guo Huai to become more brave. After expressing his intentions openly, he matured a lot. Although he usually faces himself and He Tianran, he is still honest and honest. But the three of them can still maintain this friendship, which proves that Guo Huai has an extra "confidence" compared with his previous life.
Based on this alone, Guo Huai's future will definitely go even further.
So, in this world, not only people in reincarnation can learn to grow...
Cao Aiqing was full of emotion in his heart.
It's just that Guo's mother couldn't understand the meaning of the first layer. She saw Guo Huai's "ignorant" evasion of a good opportunity again. said:
"Oh, Huaihuai, what you said is too self-deprecating. What do you mean it is particularly inappropriate? You said it so absolutely that no one else might think so. I think the two of you are quite suitable."
"Auntie, Guo Huai is right."
This time, Cao Aiqing didn't let Guo Huai get ahead of her. She said something calmly, and Guo's mother's expression changed immediately, and the girl continued:
"Auntie, you just asked me how Guo Huai is. He is a very good boy with many qualities worthy of my learning. He is also a close friend worth making deep friends with. However, due to our different personalities and interests, different, so we are only suitable to be friends, as for other relationships, I will not consider it."
Although the first part of Cao Aiqing's words was quite polite, but the ending of the second half was too straightforward. Mother Guo would not have thought that the girl who praised Wenwen and Jingjing just now would suddenly say such a thing. To save face?
Guo's mother's face turned green and pale, just now she was immersed in Guo Huai's self-satisfaction, but now being choked by these two children, she didn't know what to say, she could only say:
"Oh, you are all children, you are young, who can tell what will happen in the future..."
"Yes, since we are all children, don't worry about it, Auntie. It's a pleasure to see you today. We can talk about other things."
Cao Aiqing spoke politely with a gentle smile.
On the other end, Wang Ma, who had been paying close attention to the situation, was a little speechless and murmured softly:
"It's really like..."
He Tianran, who was still bowing his head to cook at the moment, raised his head when he heard the sound:
"Like? Like what?"
Wang Zhaodi looked at He Tianran and sighed, "Like Xiaobai."
The Xiaobai in her words naturally refers to the man's mother, the former mistress of the He family, Bai Wenyu.
"Dad once said this too. The two of them are indeed quite decisive in their style of doing things, but..."
He Tianran continued, although he also knew that because of Cao Aiqing's experience of bullying, after stepping into the society in the future, she always looked forward to an independent woman like her mother, and even cited her as a template in the workplace, but the two are different after all, especially With a new life now, He Tianran believes that Cao Aiqing will be able to find her own path.
"She is her, she is not like anyone."
He Tianran reiterated this point of view once again.
However, Wang Zhaodi looked at him, hesitated for a long time, and finally said slowly:
"I'm not saying she's as decisive as your mother..."
"What else is there like?"
"There are also other similarities, for example... She is very similar to your mother before she married Pan Shan, carefree and innocent... And she has always known what she wants and what she loves."
Wang Ma seemed to be lost in memories, she spoke slowly, and He Tianran remained silent.
"Xiao Tianran... were you really lying to me before?"
"That's right, Wang Ma... just like what you see now, if it wasn't because of your bad heart at that time, maybe Ai Qing... wouldn't cooperate with me in acting."
"Really? Then... between you, is there any chance to be together?"
He Tianran recalled in a daze the day when Cao Aiqing also resolutely told her father that it was impossible for her to be with him...
Even though the relationship between the two has improved a lot now, and bullying and deception no longer exist, the man knows very well that there is still a dead knot, a gully, and a scar in their hearts that has not been untied, difficult to overcome, and even more difficult to overcome. heal……
So regarding this question, he could only shake his head and said awkwardly:
"We... we have no chance."
Wang Ma kept looking into He Tianran's eyes, until a moment after he had no chance, she said tactfully:
"That's it...Xiao Tianran, it doesn't matter if you lie to me, an old woman, but I hope that you two young people don't end up lying to yourself..."
"..."
He Tianran opened his mouth halfway, and there seemed to be countless thoughts lingering in his head trying to organize them into words. He always felt that he had lived a thorough enough life and was an old man in thought. After half a century, even a family member who has walked on the verge of death, a simple piece of advice can make him look so pale in comparison.
This is a very lucky thing for He Tianran.
Because in this world, there is still such an elder who, through his own knowledge and experience, can keep him in awe, manage him, and persuade him.
Seeing the two walking over together, Mother Guo smiled enthusiastically.
When the two sat down, Guo's mother went through the expressions of the two of them. Seeing that Cao Aiqing was calm and decent, and Guo Huai was reserved, she took the initiative to praise:
"Little Cao, our Huaihuai family is so lucky to have met such a kind-hearted girl like you. He has been studying in Hong Kong City for these years, but luckily you are taking care of him.

Guo Huai also felt that it was inappropriate for his mother to misunderstand, so he frowned and hurriedly corrected:
"Mom, I never said that Ai Qing is my girlfriend. Stop talking nonsense and eat."

Cao Aiqing's well-behaved temperament in her previous life has suffered such a loss.
It's just that today is different from the past, since the girl can come to eat this meal calmly, she naturally has a plan in mind.
"Thank you auntie."
Cao Aiqing put the food that Mother Guo had picked up into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and flattered her with a smile:

"What am I in a hurry for?"

Mother Guo took advantage of the situation to ask questions.
Cao Aiqing took a breath, feeling that it was time.
Taking advantage of the time to call back, everyone can still sit down and talk politely, the girl decided to completely turn the past to the next chapter.
However, when she opened her mouth, Guo Huai, who had always been obedient to her mother in her memory, took the first step and opened her mouth——
"Mom, don't ask about this. Ai Qing is my friend. It's really embarrassing for you to ask this. Besides, Ai Qing and I are not suitable. They have other plans. I have my own plans. Are you afraid Can't I find a girlfriend?"
As soon as the words landed, Cao Aiqing looked at Guo Huai quite unexpectedly...
Such a development was unexpected to her, but gradually the expression on the girl's face changed from surprise to a smile.
Sure enough...
People are always in different situations, and the harvest is always different...
Last time at the restaurant, He Tianran forced Guo Huai to become more brave. After expressing his intentions openly, he matured a lot. Although he usually faces himself and He Tianran, he is still honest and honest. But the three of them can still maintain this friendship, which proves that Guo Huai has an extra "confidence" compared with his previous life.
Based on this alone, Guo Huai's future will definitely go even further.
So, in this world, not only people in reincarnation can learn to grow...
Cao Aiqing was full of emotion in his heart.
It's just that Guo's mother couldn't understand the meaning of the first layer. She saw Guo Huai's "ignorant" evasion of a good opportunity again. said:
"Oh, Huaihuai, what you said is too self-deprecating. What do you mean it is particularly inappropriate? You said it so absolutely that no one else might think so. I think the two of you are quite suitable."
"Auntie, Guo Huai is right."
This time, Cao Aiqing didn't let Guo Huai get ahead of her. She said something calmly, and Guo's mother's expression changed immediately, and the girl continued:
"Auntie, you just asked me how Guo Huai is. He is a very good boy with many qualities worthy of my learning. He is also a close friend worth making deep friends with. However, due to our different personalities and interests, different, so we are only suitable to be friends, as for other relationships, I will not consider it."
Although the first part of Cao Aiqing's words was quite polite, but the ending of the second half was too straightforward. Mother Guo would not have thought that the girl who praised Wenwen and Jingjing just now would suddenly say such a thing. To save face?
Guo's mother's face turned green and pale, just now she was immersed in Guo Huai's self-satisfaction, but now being choked by these two children, she didn't know what to say, she could only say:
"Oh, you are all children, you are young, who can tell what will happen in the future..."
"Yes, since we are all children, don't worry about it, Auntie. It's a pleasure to see you today. We can talk about other things."
Cao Aiqing spoke politely with a gentle smile.
On the other end, Wang Ma, who had been paying close attention to the situation, was a little speechless and murmured softly:
"It's really like..."
He Tianran, who was still bowing his head to cook at the moment, raised his head when he heard the sound:
"Like? Like what?"
Wang Zhaodi looked at He Tianran and sighed, "Like Xiaobai."
The Xiaobai in her words naturally refers to the man's mother, the former mistress of the He family, Bai Wenyu.
"Dad once said this too. The two of them are indeed quite decisive in their style of doing things, but..."
He Tianran continued, although he also knew that because of Cao Aiqing's experience of bullying, after stepping into the society in the future, she always looked forward to an independent woman like her mother, and even cited her as a template in the workplace, but the two are different after all, especially With a new life now, He Tianran believes that Cao Aiqing will be able to find her own path.
"She is her, she is not like anyone."
He Tianran reiterated this point of view once again.
However, Wang Zhaodi looked at him, hesitated for a long time, and finally said slowly:
"I'm not saying she's as decisive as your mother..."
"What else is there like?"
"There are also other similarities, for example... She is very similar to your mother before she married Pan Shan, carefree and innocent... And she has always known what she wants and what she loves."
Wang Ma seemed to be lost in memories, she spoke slowly, and He Tianran remained silent.
"Xiao Tianran... were you really lying to me before?"
"That's right, Wang Ma... just like what you see now, if it wasn't because of your bad heart at that time, maybe Ai Qing... wouldn't cooperate with me in acting."
"Really? Then... between you, is there any chance to be together?"
He Tianran recalled in a daze the day when Cao Aiqing also resolutely told her father that it was impossible for her to be with him...
Even though the relationship between the two has improved a lot now, and bullying and deception no longer exist, the man knows very well that there is still a dead knot, a gully, and a scar in their hearts that has not been untied, difficult to overcome, and even more difficult to overcome. heal……
So regarding this question, he could only shake his head and said awkwardly:
"We... we have no chance."
Wang Ma kept looking into He Tianran's eyes, until a moment after he had no chance, she said tactfully:
"That's it...Xiao Tianran, it doesn't matter if you lie to me, an old woman, but I hope that you two young people don't end up lying to yourself..."
"..."
He Tianran opened his mouth halfway, and there seemed to be countless thoughts lingering in his head trying to organize them into words. He always felt that he had lived a thorough enough life and was an old man in thought. After half a century, even a family member who has walked on the verge of death, a simple piece of advice can make him look so pale in comparison.
This is a very lucky thing for He Tianran.
Because in this world, there is still such an elder who, through his own knowledge and experience, can keep him in awe, manage him, and persuade him.
